Stock Photo: Central Tower At Angkor Wat

ID 78601940 © Arabesque88 | Megapixl.com

The fact that the main central tower of Angkor Wat faces west, symbolizing death in Southeast Asia, when virtually all other Khmer temples face east to the rising sun, has suggested the idea that Suryavarman II intended the monument to be his tomb as well as a temple. Other scholars have suggested that the western orientation is connected with the temple’s dedication to Vishnu, or with astronomical measurements designed into the temple complex.
